Sift 300 g of wheat flour onto a work surface or into a large bowl, forming a mound. Make a deep well (crater) in the center with a diameter of about 8-10 cm. Crack 180 g of eggs (3 pieces) into the well. Add 2 g of salt (about 1/2 teaspoon).
Description
Delicate tortelloni filled with aromatic, slightly smoky oscypek cheese and tangy sorrel, served in a warming, buttery sage sauce. This dish combines Italian fresh ravioli technique with Polish seasonal ingredients: spring sorrel and oscypek. It is a winter-warming suggestion perfect for the cooler days of spring when the first sorrel appears — it pairs well with roasted root vegetables or a light arugula salad. Flavor notes: the contrast of smoky cheese, the tartness of sorrel, and nutty butter with a herbal hint of sage. Visual appeal: golden sage leaves in shimmering butter and the delicate folds of fresh tortelloni.

Preparation steps
Cake
Start mixing with a fork or your finger, slowly incorporating the flour from the sides into the eggs. When the mixture becomes too thick, start kneading with your hands: gather the flour from the sides and work it into the eggs until a uniform dough forms.
If the dough is too dry, add a little water (1 teaspoon at a time); if it's too sticky, sprinkle a little flour. Knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and stops sticking to your hands — about 8-10 minutes by hand.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature — this will allow the gluten to relax and make rolling easier.
Filling
Peel and finely chop 150 g of onion. In a pan, heat 10 g of butter (from the sauce portion) and sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes over medium heat until it becomes translucent and sweet.
Grate 250 g oscypek on a coarse grater or chop it very finely. In a bowl, combine the grated oscypek with 150 g of cottage cheese, add the drained and chopped sorrel (120 g of leaves, coarsely chopped). If you are using garlic (optional), add 10 g finely chopped and sauté it with onion for 30 seconds before adding it to the mixture. Season with salt carefully (oscypek is salty) and 2 g of black pepper; mix thoroughly.
Shaping the tortelloni
Roll out the dough thinly (to about 1-2 mm) on a lightly floured surface. If you have a pasta machine, pass it through the thickest setting, then gradually to thinner settings until you achieve 1-2 mm. Cut out squares with a side of about 6-7 cm.
Place a teaspoon of filling (about 10-12 g) on each square. Moisten the edges with water using your finger, fold each square in half to form a triangle, and press the edges. Then, bring together two opposite corners of the triangle, wrap it around your finger, and press to form a ring shape of the tortelloni. Check if the edges are sealed — a gentle press should not open the dumpling.
Cooking tortelloni
In a large pot, bring at least 2 liters of salted water to a boil (add 10 g of salt). Add the tortelloni in batches, no more than 12-15 pieces at a time, to prevent them from sticking together. Cook for 3-4 minutes from the moment they float to the surface; fresh pasta cooks quickly.
Sauce and finishing touches
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 100 g of butter and heat until it starts to foam slightly and changes to a light golden color (3-4 minutes). Add the sage leaves (15 g) and fry for 1-2 minutes until they become crispy; be careful not to burn the sage. If using cream (optional), add 100 g of cream at the end and heat for 30 seconds until the sauce thickens, making sure it doesn't boil.
Assembly
Remove the tortelloni with a slotted spoon directly from the pot to the pan with butter and sage. Gently shake the pan or stir with a wooden spoon for 1 minute to coat the pasta with the sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and 2 g of black pepper to taste.
Serving
Arrange the tortelloni on warmed plates, drizzle with the remaining butter and sage from the pan. Optionally, sprinkle with 50 g of grated Parmesan and drizzle with a bit of freshly ground pepper. Garnish with a few crispy fried sage leaves.
Additional suggestions
If you want to add creaminess, mix 1-2 tablespoons of cream into the sauce just before adding the tortelloni. To enhance the flavor, you can add 10 g of finely chopped garlic to the sautéed onion in the filling.
Fun Fact
Oscypek is a traditional smoked cheese from sheep's milk; combining it with Italian dumplings is an example of culinary fusion that uses local products in a classic pasta technique.

Tips
Serve immediately after preparation, while the sauce is still glossy. A light arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette or roasted root vegetables pairs well with tortellini. For a bolder flavor, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan.
Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Raw, shaped tortellini can be frozen spread out on a tray (1-2 hours), then transferred to a bag - for up to 2 months. It is best to consume the finished dish immediately; to reheat, gently warm it in a pan with a little butter for 2-3 minutes.
